This antique Malayer rug in 217x132 cm is an exceptional one-of-a-kind piece with more than 100 years of history. Its fine weave, refined cream-toned palette, and authentic aged character make it a rare collector’s rug for elegant living rooms, guest spaces, hallways, or sophisticated interiors.

Origin & Manufacturing

This antique Malayer rug was hand-knotted over 100 years ago in the Hamadan region by skilled master weavers. It is made from high-quality wool on a strong cotton foundation and features a fine knot density of approximately 320,000 to 360,000 knots per m².

This dense traditional construction gives the rug clear pattern definition, lasting durability, and a refined surface texture. The natural dyes create warmth, depth, and the authentic visual richness that makes genuine antique rugs so desirable.

Design & Aesthetic Value

The design reflects the classic Malayer character with finely detailed allover motifs and an elegant elongated format. Its light cream, beige, and warm red tones create a refined and balanced look that feels both decorative and timeless. This makes the rug highly versatile in classic interiors as well as more curated contemporary spaces.
